I recently had the pleasure of working with Paul to create my will and power of attorney documents, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning, Paul was incredibly kind and patient, taking the time to explain every step of the process in clear, understandable terms. His expertise made what could have been a daunting task feel easy and manageable. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and the care he took to ensure I understood everything. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate legal advice with their Will.

Kent Dalziel and his team at The Estate Lawyers are totally fabulous, highly skilled and very empathetic. Estate planning is incredibly important and it is something that everyone needs to do, and revisit at each stage of their lives, to understand their own priorities, values, goals and wishes. Estate planning is not about death, it’s about you and your family living your best possible lives. My very sincere thanks to Kent Dalziel, I trust him entirely and his work, talent and insight is second to none.

I recently worked with Joe at The Estate Lawyers to handle a deceased estate, and I am extremely impressed with the service provided. Joe demonstrated exceptional professionalism, empathy, and expertise throughout the entire process.

From the beginning, Joe took the time to understand the complexities of our family situation and provided clear, concise guidance on how to proceed. He navigated through tricky family dynamics with ease, always maintaining a calm and composed demeanor.

He was always available to answer our questions and provided regular updates, which gave us great peace of mind during a challenging time. The attention to detail and dedication to ensuring everything was handled correctly and efficiently was truly remarkable.

I highly recommend Joe and The Estate Lawyers to anyone in need of a deceased estate lawyer. Their expertise, client-focused approach, and ability to manage complex family situations are outstanding. Thank you, Joe.

Sorry for the late comment. I was really happy about the outcome last year. I really wanna say thank you to Madeleine and her team. I was stressful handling of my partner’s late estate last year. I had two lawyers before, but they didn’t do the right thing. Madi was my 3rd lawyer who got the point straight away and helped me sort out. Definitely recommend Madi and the Estate Lawyer!!!!

When stone-walled by the Public Trustee, I was fortunate to find the Estate Lawyers in the nick of time to contest my mothers will. What should have been a simple, straightforward matter became a protracted one, and without Joe’s efficient, competent expertise, my outcome would certainly have been much less favourable. I was always in the position of being consulted in simple language with each step and provided open estimation of costs throughout. I highly recommend this firm.

★★★★★
— Mark J D
In my experience, for legal advice on Estate Planning or Estate Litigation, there is simply none better than THE ESTATE LAWYERS for their humility, understanding and professionalism.

Having engaged other high profile supposed “BIG END OF TOWN” firms for my Estate matters previously, I have a good understanding of the good, the bad and the amazing. The Estate Lawyers exceeded my expectations both in process and in outcome and I will never use anyone else but THE ESTATE LAWYERS for all my current and future Estate needs. Kent, Maddy and the Team can’t come recommended more highly. Choose the rest or choose the best!

Sophie has a rare combination of traits which make her tenacious, competent and empathetic. I was frustrated searching for a lawyer I could trust. After years of sleepless nights, Sophie’s expertise allowed me the space to experience my pregnancy and the birth of my son free from additional worries. Her professionalism put me in control of the tone and pace of the situation, and I knew that matters were well taken care of because of her firm, yet fair-minded and measured approach. Having Sophie in your corner is like having your big sister protect you from the bullies in the playground. I am grateful to her for helping me provide a secure future for my son.

Couldn’t be happier with the way Alex has handled himself during this process. The case was long and I’m sure a painful process, but he has been nothing short of great this entire time. Very professional and knowledgeable.
★★★★★
— Rainah Staunton
I lost my daughter last year so was in a very vulnerable way. Sophie and the team looked after me through the process of settling her estate. They were kind, informative, sensitive to my needs, and very knowledgeable. I think this could have been quite an ordeal if I hadn’t had Sophie to guide me through it. I praise them and recommend them.
★★★★★
— Denice Naumann
Extremely professional and responsive under strict deadlines. Estate Team went above and beyond to ensure my case would have best outcome, have not seen this level of service provided in a long time. No matter the final result I am extremely satisfied and would use Estate Lawyers again if in need of future help. Thanks Estate Team.

Sophie helped me with navigating my father’s estate, which wasn’t as straightforward as we had thought it would be. Sophie and her team are very knowledgeable and always tried to expedite the process where possible. I felt so grateful for their guidance and support. I highly recommend The Estate Lawyers if you need help with managing an estate.

I had occasion recently to deal with The Estate Lawyers, and my experience was first class. I made a number of phone calls to the company and received three written replies all of which were comprehensive, clear and concise. Although the matter could eventually become complex I received enough information to enable me to make an executive decision before proceeding formally. I highly recommend them.
★★★★★
— Warren Taske
Very professional and solid advice! Sophie assisted us with our wills and Enduring Power of Attorneys, and couldn’t fault her professionalism. A weight off our minds!
★★★★★
— Kay Eade
Estate law is a very messy practice by nature of the work and emotions involved, though The Estate Lawyers keep you well informed and somehow manage to keep the process very tidy for you as the client. Even in dispute matters, they always help you feel calm, collected, in control, and without fear of negative outcomes. Would absolutely recommend them to all my friends and family who may have to go through estate ordeals also, this firm helps lighten the burden and ease the pain by making the legal aspect far more bearable. Particular thank you to Alex M. at the firm too for all your help (plus Kent D. for the initial will drafting and protection measures he implemented, and Joe on the front desk for being a great and friendly bloke each time you called!).
★★★★★
— Carl Verdouw
Fantastic! Kent spoke to me in a language I could easily understand when discussing my options in drafting my will and provided an incredibly efficient and thorough end result. I would highly recommend The Estate Lawyers to absolutely anyone! Thanks Kent.

We are delighted with Kent’s service. From initial contact, Kent grasped the essence of our concerns. He formulated a strategy exploiting the strengths and setting up strong defence against the risk areas. His communication was timely, effective and patient. He managed the situation to a great outcome. Importantly, Kent’s fee structure was fair and he avoided expenses that were unnecessary. We highly recommend Kent if you want someone you can trust to do the best for you and achieve it.

The Estate Lawyers. Following a disgruntling experience with a previous law firm on the Gold Coast, my luck changed totally when Sophie Shaw from The Estate Lawyers picked up the phone to answer my on-line enquiry. Sophie dealt with my and my husband’s situation with diplomacy, tact, expediency, remarkable insight, an updated knowledge and friendly, modern expertise. She expressed an obvious passion for her work and true care for us, her clients. She conscientiously and steadfastly sought the best of outcomes for us. Sophie always had time for our questions and explained everything fully and to our satisfaction, while at the same time we could trust in her leadership, guidance, skill and expediency. I could not speak more highly of Sophie Shaw and we are unbelievably relieved, happy and content with the experience and results she achieved for us.

The Estate Lawyers were always professional, clear, and always comforting for what was a very difficult time for me and my family. They knew what they were about and delivered as they predicted. They were patient, understanding and realistic. Dealing with lawyers can often be a dreadful experience but, in their hands, I was surprisingly untroubled attending meetings or actively participating as required. They knew how to keep me involved for the best outcome. You could do no better than The Estate Lawyers.
★★★★★

The Estate Lawyers were amazing! Sophie was so supportive and communicative, and I felt incredibly secure in the knowledge that my case was safe in her hands. I would 100% recommend The Estate Lawyers!

At a time when I was a nervous as you could ever be, Kent Dalziel was recommended to me by two lawyer colleagues….described as ‘down to earth, pragmatic and conscious of costs’. I took that with a grain of salt, but trusted my two referrers nonetheless.

Like everyone’s estate matters, mine was fraught with emotion and regret. Considering litigation is a frightening concept by anyone’s books; the reality is that you are not going to spend hard earned dollars on legal fees unless there is a compelling reason.

From the word go Kent assessed my predicament quickly, and clearly outlined a strategy for moving forward with the estate matters in an efficient and very timely manner. Step by step, just as he had outlined our matter reached its conclusion culminating in a positive outcome.

At every step of the way I was totally informed. With timely email communications together with very regularly scheduled phone calls, I was never left wondering.

10 weeks after briefing Kent, I received an email from him at 9pm to say that our case was effectively settled and could move to the next phase of the estate being managed. Up to that night, I had not slept easily for weeks. The relief was profound.

I was represented by Kent back in 2016, so I’m a bit late writing my review. I have to completely applaud Kent and whole office for representing me in my family estate case. It was quite difficult and involved but I was more than happy with the outcome. Thanks so much Kent, I will be and am always grateful.
★★★★★
— Kim Fredericks
Kent helped me with issues arising from the administration of my father’s estate. I appreciate the time and effort he took to talk me through issues and offer advice and assistance. I found Kent to be very approachable and makes the client feel supported through what is a very tough time. His attitude and personality is the right fit for this type of work. Highly recommended.

Very, very great service and outcome! I can’t express how my appreciation to Sophie. I did visit several Estate Lawyers Company before I accidentally find out The Estate Lawyers Company in google maps. Impressed by their reviews.

Excellent service. Would recommend The Estate Lawyers to anyone seeking detailed knowledge of this area of law. We worked with Alex McCowan who impressed us from the start, from his quick and thorough grasp of a difficult legal situation, to his responsiveness under time pressure, and his respectful handling of questions and challenges. I’ve already passed his contact details on to others!

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you Kent and your team so much for your professionalism. Experience and advice. You kept things clear and on track for us the whole way. I always felt secure with the way you lead us. It was incredible the suggestions you came back with. The in sight you had to every situation when we hadn’t consider those options. You were always prompt. Clear and professional with a caring quality. They are such valued qualities in a time of high emotions and uncertainty. When your stressed, unsure, and not knowing what’s ahead. It was great to always feel in good hands.

I feel Dad had a hand in leading us to you. I would highly recommend you to anyone in need of this service. I know my brother and I are grateful you where recommended to us. Thank you for your care and always wanting to secure our safety along the way. I haven’t ever met you. Yet I felt so looked after. I really can’t thank you enough. I’m so very grateful. This process also I think gave my brother and myself an opportunity to heal in some ways. We waited a long time for this closure. You’re amazing Kent. Thank you, Annette.

Excellent service and knowledge. I found The Estate Lawyers by accident and was impressed by their reviews. I knew that we would need somebody strong in their field and chose to put my trust in them. I am absolutely impressed with the level of professionalism, their knowledge in estate law and their down to earth approachability (not sure that’s a real word). It was intimidating approaching a big city law firm with our relatively small case but Kent and Sophie were first class all the way. We were made to feel like important clients right from the first phone call and that level of care did not wane at all throughout the entire process. Massive thanks to the team for a great and fair outcome.

We can highly recommend Paul and his team for any Estate/Will disputes. We successfully contested my Stepsons fathers Will as he left it all to his grandparents. It was resolved in a highly professional manner and we were always kept informed of the progress of the case. Paul engaged us in a way that we felt extremely comfortable and any questions or queries we had were promptly dealt with in a highly professional yet reassuring manner. Once again Paul, many, many thanks for your hard work and in gaining a positive result for us.

Alex McGowan and the team at The Estate Lawyers have helped me through the most difficult year after losing my adult son. I have received knowledgeable and professional guidance while sorting out his affairs and estate with consistently excellent communication and an open and transparent billing process. I was treated with kindness and understanding the whole way through, Alex sorted everything out for me, saved me a lot of angst and got incredible results.
★★★★★
— Karin Sayer
Extremely happy with The Estate Lawyers. My 2 sisters and I needed legal advice and answers from our other two sisters, executors to our fathers estate. Litigation of the estate followed and Alex McCowan, solicitor, and staff at The Estate Lawyers were very professional, polite and helpful. The result was reasonable and without Alex we may have received nothing. Alex was easy to talk to, listened carefully and offered advise, making sure we understood the legal jargon. His emails were followed up with phone calls to talk us through the process and help us make informed decisions. I highly recommend The Estate Lawyers and will use them again if the need arises.
★★★★★
— Nicky Cole
We came across Estate Lawyers from a referral, thank goodness for that. I had been given very poor advice by a previous law practice in regard to the handling of my wife’s will. I have absolutely no reservation in referring The Estate Lawyers. You need expert and friendly care in a time of need. Thank you Alex.
★★★★★
— John Griffiths
My wife was executor of her mothers will and needed good advice. We were recommended to Kent and his team and the following is her experience. The Estate Lawyers were very professional, very prompt and precise in their advice, relying on facts and law and not heresay or emotion. Consequently, everything proceeded with minimal fuss and certainly all bases of possible issues were well researched and executed well before needed and service was delivered in a prompt professional matter. They were also responsive to phone calls and always dealt out level headed advice. Elizabeth could not recommend them enough.
★★★★★
— Peter Dance
My experience with The Estate Lawyers: The level of knowledge in relation to legal, estate and rights is exceptional. The service I received from The Estate Lawyers is of an extremely high quality as they respect and understand my situation and are working with me to achieve the best outcome possible. They take time to listen and get to know the full extent of the matter and then remain in contact and inform the steps and requirements to achieve the desired outcome. All staff are extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating of the customers needs. All information was clearly explained and all correspondences were clear and easy to understand. I would highly recommend The Estate Lawyers to anyone needing an opinion, advice or wishing to start any legal estate action. Thank you The Estate Lawyers for your perseverance in resolving my legal estate dispute!
